Michigan 811 – Radio PSA Campaign

EVERGREEN (no expiration date);

Michigan 811, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit corporation dedicated to keeping Michigan safe and connected, would appreciate your support in airing its recently produced radio public service announcements (PSAs).

The PSAs serve to remind excavators, homeowners, farmers, and contractors to use the Michigan 811 service before digging around underground utilities. Damaging an underground utility can cause many problems, including outages, injury, and even loss of life. Michigan 811 is designated by the state as the one-call notification system for Michigan as part of the State’s underground damage prevention program.

Michigan 811 is the first step in damage prevention. By placing a locate request with Michigan 811, either via call or online entry, underground utilities can be located and marked to avoid potential excavation damage.

This campaign includes three (3) PSAs in English. The PSAs encourage excavators, homeowners, farmers, and contractors to use the free and simple 811 service before starting any digging project. More information is available at missdig811.org.
